AI proficiency is no longer optional—it's a competitive edge. 📈
Today, we kicked off the first of our GSP Workshop Series: Foundations of AI. In a world where AI is reshaping how we compete, our members are leaning in to stay ahead of the curve.
Led by AI Strategist John Fimiani, today’s attendees walked away with:
✅ A jargon-free foundation of how modern AI actually works.
✅ A decision framework for which tools to use and when.
✅ Core prompting skills to get clearer, more consistent results.
Whether it's marketing, strategy, or operations, we’re committed to making sure Greater Springfield businesses have the tools they need to thrive.
